Make the Most of Your College Fees

The sticker price of a college education often includes a handful of mandatory fees to cover on-campus services.

At the University of California--Irvine, students pay a "campus spirit" fee, for example, and students at the University of California--Los Angeles are assessed a "green initiative" fee.

While some schools list out each fee--common charges include technology, health, building, and student activity fees--others lump them into one flat-rate tuition charge, and students typically pay for these services whether they use them or not.

To make your university fees work for you, check in with your resident adviser or stop by the office of the dean of students to find out about free and discounted services available both on and off campus. The following tips can also help college students ensure they're getting the most out of their tuition dollars:

1. Student health: Campus health centers aren't just for sick students. Revamped clinics offer everything from acupuncture to counseling for little to no cost.

"The campus health clinic isn't as exciting as access to a swimming pool or recreation area but it can have an enormous impact on general wellbeing," says University of Oregon alum Chris Grow. "It's a tremendous resource for STD tests, ... vaccinations, and general health concerns. They're also useful for getting a pulse on what viruses are going around campus."

As colleges become smoke and tobacco free, health centers are also aiming to help students who want to quit smoking, says Paula Staight, director of health promotions at the University of Oregon, which gives students free nicotine patches or gum to help them kick their habit.

2. Technology: Computer labs and campus-wide wireless services are now commonplace at most colleges and universities, but there are other tech services available to students at many schools.

At the University of Iowa, for example, the ITS Help Desk will troubleshoot students' computer issues and resolve software or operating-system problems. For most repairs, the cost is covered by the university's mandatory technology fee.

[Discover new options for free online courses.]

Many colleges and universities also offer software such as anti-virus programs or Microsoft Office to students either free or deeply discounted.

3. Transportation: Students at urban schools often rely on public transportation for their campus commute, and some colleges charge a transportation fee that subsidizes transit system passes.

University of Wisconsin--Madison's bus pass fee helps pays for on-campus bus and safe-ride services, but also gives students a pass for all bus routes on the Madison Metro Transit System.

Students at Amherst College in Massachusetts also get free access to the public bus system, which connects them to other area colleges--University of Massachusetts--Amherst, Hampshire College, Smith College, and Mount Holyoke College--and nearby towns.

Transportation services can also help students get off campus. Students at the University of California--San Diego can take advantage of a free airport shuttle during school breaks. Grinnell College in rural Iowa offers a similar service to its students, transporting them to the nearest airport, as well as downtown Chicago, at a discounted rate.

At the University of Texas--Austin, the Texas Express offers weekend shuttles with nonstop service to Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio. Round-trip tickets range from $40.50 to $55 for UT students and staff, and the Express typically offers two drop-off points in each city.

Students seem to be big fans of the Texas Express, as most weekend shuttles fill up well in advance, says Josh Cook, assistant director of communication at UT--Austin.

Consumer group sues FDA over Aricept safety

(AP) ? A consumer group pressing the Food and Drug Administration to remove the highest dose of an Alzheimer's disease drug from the market is suing the agency for what it calls "foot-dragging."

Public Citizen said Wednesday that the FDA's own medical and statistical reviewers found that high-dose Aricept doesn't work better at controlling symptoms of moderate-to-severe Alzheimer's than two low doses.

However, the group said the high dose has more-dangerous, potentially deadly side effects including vomiting, which in Alzheimer's patients "can lead to pneumonia, massive gastrointestinal bleeding, esophageal rupture or death." Other side effects more common at the high dose are nausea, diarrhea, anorexia and confusion.

Public Citizen filed a petition in May 2011 with the FDA. The group urged the agency to halt sales of the 23-milligram dose of Aricept and put safety warnings about the high-dose risks on two low doses, 5 and 10 milligrams. The low doses are available under both the Aricept brand, made by Japan's Eisai Co. Ltd., and as inexpensive generic pills.

The FDA has yet to act.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Washington, asks the court to declare the FDA's failure to act unlawful and to order the agency to decide within 30 days of the court's ruling whether to approve Public Citizen's request. The suit also seeks attorneys' fees and other reasonable costs.

"By ignoring Public Citizen's petition for more than a year, the agency has ignored (its) responsibility," Dr. Sidney Wolfe, director of Public Citizen's Health Research Group, said in a statement. "During the past year alone approximately 350,000 prescriptions have been filled in the U.S. for Aricept 23."

"Allowing Eisai to exploit and harm vulnerable patients with Alzheimer's disease is unconscionable," Wolfe added.

An FDA spokeswoman said Wednesday in an email that the agency doesn't comment on pending litigation. Last December, the associate policy director in its Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Jane Axelrad, notified Public Citizen the FDA was doing a detailed evaluation of the case.

"FDA has been unable to reach a decision on your petition because it raises significant issues requiring extensive review and analysis by agency officials," she wrote. "We will respond to your petition as soon as we have reached a decision on your request."

Marcia Diljak, a spokeswoman at Eisai's U.S. subsidiary, Eisai Inc. of Woodcliff Lake, N.J., said the company was aware of the complaint filed against the FDA but won't comment on the litigation.

"We stand by the FDA's decision" to approve high-dose Aricept as a safe, effective Alzheimer's treatment, she wrote in an email.

According to Public Citizen, Eisai sought approval of the higher Aricept dose ahead of the November 2010 expiration of the patents for the two low doses. The ensuing generic competition would have slashed their sales.

The lawsuit states that the FDA required the company to prove in a study that the high dose improved patients' mental and physical functioning, but the study failed to show the high-dose "has any clinically meaningful benefit."

That led FDA's medical reviewer to recommend against approving the high dose, but the head of FDA's division of neurology products decided to approve the product anyway, the lawsuit states. The high dose was approved on July 23, 2010, extending Eisai's patent protection for an additional three years, the suit notes.

Instagram For Video?Massive Market Opportunity, Yes! Done Right, No!

peter-csathyOh, to become the Instagram for video! THAT is the dream of scores of new tech start-ups. And, that is the holy grail for all the VCs who continue to plow money into those companies. After all, Facebook just dropped a cool $1 billion on Instagram (well, actually closer to $700 million) ? and each of us can now easily capture pristine HD video on our smart phones that we carry at all times. That means personal HD video capture anytime, anywhere, and without any pre-planning. The sheer volume of personal UGC video has exploded. The potential market opportunity is massive. And, it is ripe. If it only were that easy.

Sleep learning is possible: Associations formed when asleep remained intact when awake

ScienceDaily (Aug. 26, 2012) ? Is sleep learning possible? A new Weizmann Institute study appearing August 26 in Nature Neuroscience has found that if certain odors are presented after tones during sleep, people will start sniffing when they hear the tones alone -- even when no odor is present -- both during sleep and, later, when awake. In other words, people can learn new information while they sleep, and this can unconsciously modify their waking behavior.

Sleep-learning experiments are notoriously difficult to conduct. For one thing, one must be sure that the subjects are actually asleep and stay that way during the "lessons." The most rigorous trials of verbal sleep learning have failed to show any new knowledge taking root. While more and more research has demonstrated the importance of sleep for learning and memory consolidation, none had managed to show actual learning of new information taking place in an adult brain during sleep.

Prof. Noam Sobel and research student Anat Arzi, together with Sobel's group in the Institute's Neurobiology Department in collaboration with researchers from Loewenstein Hospital and the Academic College of Tel Aviv -- Jaffa, chose to experiment with a type of conditioning that involves exposing subjects to a tone followed by an odor, so that they soon exhibit a similar response to the tone as they would to the odor. The pairing of tones and odors presented several advantages. Neither wakes the sleeper (in fact, certain odors can promote sound sleep), yet the brain processes them and even reacts during slumber. Moreover, the sense of smell holds a unique non-verbal measure that can be observed -- namely sniffing. The researchers found that, in the case of smelling, the sleeping brain acts much as it does when awake: We inhale deeply when we smell a pleasant aroma but stop our inhalation short when assaulted by a bad smell. This variation in sniffing could be recorded whether the subjects were asleep or awake. Finally, this type of conditioning, while it may appear to be quite simple, is associated with some higher brain areas -- including the hippocampus, which is involved in memory formation.

In the experiments, the subjects slept in a special lab while their sleep state was continuously monitored. (Waking up during the conditioning -- even for a moment -- disqualified the results.) As they slept, a tone was played, followed by an odor -- either pleasant or unpleasant. Then another tone was played, followed by an odor at the opposite end of the pleasantness scale. Over the course of the night, the associations were partially reinforced, so that the subject was exposed to just the tones as well. The sleeping volunteers reacted to the tones alone as if the associated odor were still present -- by either sniffing deeply or taking shallow breaths.

The next day, the now awake subjects again heard the tones alone -- with no accompanying odor. Although they had no conscious recollection of listening to them during the night, their breathing patterns told a different story. When exposed to tones that had been paired with pleasant odors, they sniffed deeply, while the second tones -- those associated with bad smells -- provoked short, shallow sniffs.

The team then asked whether this type of learning is tied to a particular phase of sleep. In a second experiment, they divided the sleep cycles into rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM sleep, and then induced the conditioning during only one phase or the other. Surprisingly, they found that the learned response was more pronounced during the REM phase, but the transfer of the association from sleep to waking was evident only when learning took place during the non-REM phase. Sobel and Arzi suggest that during REM sleep we may be more open to influence from the stimuli in our surroundings, but so-called "dream amnesia" -- which makes us forget most of our dreams -- may operate on any conditioning occurring in that stage of sleep. In contrast, non-REM sleep is the phase that is important for memory consolidation, so it might also play a role in this form of sleep-learning.

Although Sobel's lab studies the sense of smell, Arzi intends to continue investigating brain processing in altered states of consciousness such as sleep and coma. "Now that we know that some kind of sleep learning is possible," says Arzi, "we want to find where the limits lie -- what information can be learned during sleep and what information cannot."

Clinton's planned Pacific trip 'sends message to China'

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is set to make a rare foray to the South Pacific this week, in a move analysts say is aimed at curbing China's growing influence among the region's small island nations.

While Clinton's previous trips to the area have focused on Canberra and Wellington, this time she is expected to visit the Cook Islands, a nation of just 11,000 people whose 15 islands cover an area barely larger than Washington DC.

The reason is to attend a regional summit hosted by the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF), a group consisting mainly of small island states, along with resource-rich Papua New Guinea and the dominant regional powers Australia and New Zealand, both US allies.

The impoverished, strategically unimportant island states dropped off Washington's radar many years ago, former New Zealand diplomat Michael Powles said, as China cultivated diplomatic ties through aid and bilateral agreements.

Powles, a senior fellow at the Centre for Strategic Studies in Wellington, said the presence of Washington's top diplomat at the PIF summit would send a pointed message to Beijing that the US intends to re-engage in the region.

"If you're going to be crude about it, it's almost the Americans saying 'Hey, don't forget about us'," he told AFP.

"The US has suddenly started doing a lot more in the Pacific after quite a long time of doing the absolute minimal amount, whereas over the last few years China has been pretty active."

Forum organisers have prepared for Clinton's visit, although the US State Department has not confirmed her travel plans, in line with normal protocols.

Annmaree O'Keeffe, a Pacific specialist at Australia-based think-tank the Lowy Institute, said Washington's renewed focus on the island states was part of a broader move in US foreign policy towards the Asia-Pacific region.

The policy involves the US boosting diplomatic and military resources in the Asia-Pacific, now recognised by the US as a key driver in the global economy, while its engagement in Iraq and Afghanistan winds down.

However, some aspects, such as US plans to deploy 2,500 Marines to northern Australia and boost its naval presence in the Pacific, have rankled China, which has increased its military spending in recent years.

O'Keeffe said Clinton's expected appearance at the Cook Islands PIF was "a sideshow" in the larger context of Washington's policy shift but represented the US waving the flag in even the remotest areas of the Pacific.

"When you have a summit like this it brings together all the main players in one spot, so it's an important place to be if you're trying to rebuild your knowledge and influence in the region."

The United States has its own Pacific territories in Guam, the Northern Marianas, Hawaii and American Samoa, as well as close ties with Palau, Micronesia and the Marshall Islands.

However, excluding American Samoa, they are all located in the northern or central Pacific, leaving the South Pacific with scant attention from Washington in recent years.

O'Keeffe's Lowy Institute estimated last year that China had pledged more than US$600 million since 2005 in "soft loans" offering long interest-free periods to nations such as Tonga, Samoa and the Cook Islands.

In contrast, she said the major commitment the US currently has in the South Pacific was a recently-announced US$20 million environmental programme.

Powles said while China may be mildly suspicious about US attempts to improve diplomatic ties in the South Pacific, its chief concern would be if Washington pushed the island nations to agree to more military cooperation.

"It's a question of whether the countries are being asked to be part of the Western (US-led) team and if that would involve regular naval visits and Marines coming, as they're starting do do in northern Australia," he said.

"That would concern the Chinese and be likely to strengthen the people in China who feel they've had enough of the West and the US trying to prevent them emerging as a major power -- that could lead to explosive consequences."
